Same nonsense trotted out about cask beer supposed to be flat. This kind of idiocy is killing cask beer.
One culprit was an own label Buxton 5% Pale Ale.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Sound Wave | 5.60 | | Spot-on APA. |
| Fallen - Grapevine New World Pale | 5.40 | | No condition. |

Quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone (Berlin) - Scarlet Hibiscus | 6.20 | | Dryish pale ale. |
| Porter House - Plain Porter | 4.30 | | Totally lacking any condition. I was told that was how cask was supposed to be. Ho Hum! |

Busy with a mostly younger set. Good atmosphere but haven't got the keg serve sorted; lots of fobbing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Monk - Faith | 5.40 | | Light and very hoppy Pale Ale. Perhaps, served a tad cold. |
| Fallen - Chew Chew | 6.00 | | Bordering 2*. A fine stout failed by the serve. It comes from a jacketed cask behind the bar and was warm and totally lacking condition. The curse of cask - again. £2.90 a pint. |
